The Puni Italian Whisky Flight is a guided journey through Italy’s pioneering single malt distillery, a fitting discovery at an Italian and Mediterranean table. Served as a tasting flight at Grappa, it invites you to explore several Puni expressions side by side over an unhurried evening in Queen Anne.
About the Distillery
Puni is a single malt whisky distillery in Glorenza, in the Alpine Alto Adige region of northern Italy, founded by the Ebensperger family and producing spirit since 2012. Its striking cube-shaped distillery has become a landmark of Italian whisky making. Puni is distinctive for its triple-grain mash bill of malted barley, wheat and locally grown Alpine rye, matured in the clean mountain air, an Italian answer to Scottish tradition that feels right at home on Grappa’s list.
What’s in the Flight
This flight gathers several of Puni’s core single malts so you can taste the range of the house style. Expect expressions such as Gold, matured in ex-bourbon barrels for a clean, vanilla-led profile; Vina, aged in Sicilian ex-Marsala casks for a sweeter, wine-touched character; Sole, finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks for richer dried-fruit depth; and Alba, married between Marsala and ex-Islay casks for a whisper of smoke. The exact pours can change with availability, so your server will walk you through what is in the flight tonight.
Tasting Notes
Across the flight, look for Puni’s signature rye-edged spice and malty texture. The bourbon-aged expressions lean clean and honeyed; the Marsala and sherry casks bring dried fruit, sweetness and warmth; and the Islay-finished pour adds a gentle, smoky counterpoint. Tasted together, they tell the story of a young Italian distillery finding its own elegant voice.
What to Pair It With
A flight loves a shared plate. Pair it with our Charcuterie Board, whose cured meats span the range from clean to smoky, or finish on our Flourless Chocolate Cake with the sherry-rich pour. See more on the full dine-in menu.
How It’s Served at Grappa
